COPA-DATA provides EtherCAT drivers for Acontis and Koenig-pa suppliers. After getting the librairies from either Acontis or Koenig, integrators only have to compile the straton runtime, who is a ready to use tool kit.

Very powerful tools are provided for online debugging and simulating the IEC 61131-3 application. The Log window displays all run time messages sent by the target or by the simulator when testing the application. During step by step debugging, the Log Window also shows the current call stack and the list of installed breakpoints.

In order to reduce the cost of solutions, applications for industrial control need to be built within short time. This can be achieved by reducing the time of programming and the time of configuration the industrial control project.

To reach this goal COPA-DATA enhanced the straton product with the project automation. This tool gives the possibility to generate a part or entire application from a third party application.
